Faith, not in a process of culture by which we hope to train children into a state of salvation, but faith in the mighty God who can quicken a dead soul into life in a moment; faith in moral and spiritual revolution rather than evolution.
Place no hope in the feeling of assurance, in spiritual comfort. You may well have to get along without this.
